Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 18 Hello, Fatty.

"Ah, hello, big brother." The two yellow-haired men immediately stood up straight and nodded and bowed.

This scene left Du Yusheng stunned.

When did his deskmate become a gang leader?
So magical?

"Brother, is he your brother?" Huangmao asked hurriedly.

"Well, are you blackmailing me?" Cheng Yi asked back.

"No, no, no, we just want to borrow some money." The two yellow-haired men waved their hands quickly.

"There will be a crackdown in a few years. If you keep messing around like this, you'll end up in jail sooner or later." Cheng Yi frowned and said, "Get lost."

"Yes, yes, yes." The two yellow-haired guys didn't want to stay for a moment and ran away.

Du Yusheng quickly pulled up his pants and asked in surprise, "Cheng Yi, why are they calling you Big Brother? When did you become a big brother?"

"Nonsense, I'm a good person." Cheng Yi scolded with a smile: "How did you provoke them?"

"I didn't provoke them. I just looked at them and they blocked me here." Du Yusheng answered aggrievedly.

"What do you think?" Cheng Yi didn't believe it.

"That's how you look at it." Du Yusheng raised his eyebrows at Cheng Yi and demonstrated.

"..." Cheng Yi was silent for a few seconds and said, "It's time to change your provocative habits."

"My eyebrows are naturally prickly, there's nothing I can do about it." Du Yusheng felt even more aggrieved.

When he was in high school, many people in the class made fun of Du Yusheng. Du Yusheng had poor grades, was thick-skinned, and had a timid personality. He even laughed it off when Zhao Shasha, a classmate, publicly humiliated him.

Including Cheng Yi, everyone looked down on Du Yusheng and even didn't want to sit at the same table with him.

Later, during the three years when he was subjected to crazy debt collection, Du Yusheng was the only high school classmate who dared to associate with him. Even when he was desperate, Du Yusheng provided him with a place to stay, risking being targeted by the loan shark company.

Later, Du Yusheng became very successful. With his thick skin and eloquence, he became a diamond-level marketing director of Amway Group. Cheng Yi also worked for Amway for a period of time, one to repay Du Yusheng's kindness, and the other to learn the brainwashing culture of Amway Group.

"Fatty, do you want to make money?" Looking at the childish Du Yusheng, Cheng Yi wanted to drag Du Yusheng into the water.

What do 21st-century startups lack most? Talent! In this era of rapid growth across multiple industries, what constitutes talent? Simply put, if you're shameless enough, you're a talent!

"Making money?" Du Yusheng asked in surprise, "Is that true?"

"One hundred a day." Cheng Yi said a sky-high price.

"One hundred? Are you kidding me?" Du Yusheng exclaimed, "That's almost enough to buy a set of Li Ning sportswear."

Li Ning is considered a luxury product in the eyes of these students.

On campus, anyone who can wear Li Ning sportswear will be the coolest guy.

"With your voice, this job is very suitable for you, but I need to train you first." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Let's go, get in the car."

After saying that, Cheng Yi's butt slid consciously from the seat of the bicycle to the back seat.

Du Yusheng has been a strong man since he was a child, but he is not very tall, only 1.7 meters.

But this height is naturally suitable for riding a bicycle.

Du Yusheng rode a bicycle and took Cheng Yi to the Aiguo Food Factory according to Cheng Yi's instructions.

After a day and a night of hard work, almost all the snacks in stock at the Aiguo Food Factory had been packed. Seeing Cheng Yi coming back, Jiang Aiguo personally came out to greet him and said with a smile: "You are finally here. If you were not there at the market tomorrow, I would be worried."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Is everything sorted out now?"

"Yes." Jiang Aiguo said, "But the quantity is a bit large, more than 80,000 bags, and the warehouse is almost full."

"So many?" Cheng Yi frowned slightly. Over 80,000 bags. At this rate, it would probably take a month to sell them all.

Even if one bag is sold every ten seconds, and everyone works around the clock like at the last market, more than 10,000 bags can be sold in one market.

Cheng Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's open a few more lottery spots. I'll go rent a computer and try to finish the battle in the next two days."

"Okay." Jiang Aiguo also became excited at the thought of clearing out the inventory as soon as possible.

Cheng Yi left the confused fat man behind and rode his bike to the computer accessories store.

During this period, computer parts stores began to appear one after another.

With the advent of the Pentium 4 series of computers, the previous 386 and 486 computers have been gradually eliminated, especially the 386 that only has a floppy drive but no hard drive, which has become almost dirt cheap.

Many people smelled a business opportunity and started to engage in the business of recycling second-hand computers. They first purchased obsolete computers in cities that did not believe in tears, then added some very considerable profits, and then sold them to less developed cities.

The owner of the largest computer accessories store in the county is a young man. He does good business because he can repair computers.

Seeing Cheng Yi enter the store, the young man smiled and said, "Are you buying a computer?"

"Do you rent computers here?" Cheng Yi asked.

"Rent?" The young man was stunned at first, then shook his head and laughed, "I've never heard of renting a computer. Computers are so expensive. It's too dangerous to rent them out."

"I suggest you consider this business." Cheng Yi smiled, looked at the row of computers, and asked, "How much are the 386s over there?"

"That one is cheap, only 600 yuan a set." The young man said with a smile.

"Six hundred? Even black people like you are not this black." Cheng Yi said bluntly: "A 486 can't be sold for 600, right?"

"This was just retired from Dongcang No. 3 Middle School. We were very careful when using it, and we always wore shoe covers." The young man explained.

"300 at most. You probably won't be able to sell this antique even for 300." Cheng Yi bargained.

386 is basically the first computer that many people come into contact with.

When using this type of computer, you must wear shoe covers and work in a dust-free environment.

After 2020, many people have been making fun of the use of shoe covers, thinking that the school is deliberately creating a sense of mystery.

Actually not.

386 and 486 spanned an entire era. The 386 had no hard drive, only a floppy drive, and the floppy drive had very poor dust resistance, or even no dust resistance at all.

A floppy disk is a piece of film coated with magnetic material.

When reading and writing data, the head needs to be pressed tightly against the disk surface, and then the disk rotates and slides quickly between the two heads.

Once dust, especially sandy particles, gets on the head, the floppy disk will be immediately scrapped.

"300 is too little." The young man said in embarrassment: "I won't hide it from you, my purchase price is 260, and I haven't calculated the shipping fee and cleaning fee."

"Just 300, I want seven. If you don't sell them, I'll go look elsewhere." Cheng Yi gave the lowest price.

The young man hesitated for several seconds before saying, "Okay, let's consider it the opening."

Cheng Yi took out the three thousand yuan from yesterday, counted out twenty-one and gave them to the young man, and asked, "How much does it cost to buy a Pentium 1 computer now?"

The young man said, "For an integrated graphics card, it would cost around 900 yuan."

"What about the Pentium II?" Cheng Yi asked again.

"About 2000," the young man replied. "Pentium IIs are hard to find, but Pentium I processors are plentiful. Many internet cafes don't use Pentium I processors anymore."
